The Cartographers Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateursall are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

fantasy maps for Kamarathin

Hello everyone! I have just gotten into cartography via a game project, and it was suggested I show the maps here. Creating these was a learning experience for me, and it was fun to explore a new form of art - usually i do regular fantasy/sci-fi illustration type stuff.

These are very professional looking, uber nice. Only crit from me is too small You can post up to 4000 x 4000 and under 4.7 megabytes. I'd certainly like to see a chunk of that ISO map (the first one) and the hand drawn one...heck all of 'em

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
